Non-Members Will Be Contacted,
Lists Being Checked in
Week's Campaign
As the spring political season
hove into sight and the member
ship committee began its work of
restriction, A. S. U. O. ticket sales
made a marked advance over the
past week end. Final registration
figures of 1709 undergraduates
yesterday showed that 934 stu
dents were members of the stu
dent body, a majority of approxi
mately 55 percent.
Malcolm Bauer, who is in charge
of the membership campaign, yes
terday announced that the drive
would come to an end Saturday
at noon. During the remainder of
the week all non-members will be
contacted and given every oppor
tunity to secure for themselves
the privileges of student body
membership. All living groups on
the campus will be asked to1 report
daily, and an effort will be made
to reach every unaffiliated stu
dent. Joe Renner and Roberta
Moody are in charge of the cam
paign in the living organizations.
In the meantime, the committee
on membership, headed by Bill
Russell, has been busy checking
the voluminous lists of all students
engaged in activities. Russell re
ports that only those possessing'
student body cards will be allowed
to participate in A. S. U. O. activ
ities, which includes Emerald and
Oregana work, band and orches
tra, major and minor sports, and
all student body and class func
tions and committee work.
Non-Members Warned
All those now participating in
any of these activities and who
have not yet paid their A. S. U. O.
fees will be warned that they must
do so or resign their positions.
Such drastic measures are neces
sal'y> explains Russell, to assure
those who have paid their student
body dues the privileges of mem
bership despite the great reduc
tion in A. S. U. O. revenue.
The work of both committees is
scheduled to come to an end Sat
urday. Results of the campaign
will then be available to the
perusal of the state board of
higher education at its regular
meeting next Monday.

Campus Resembles Bouquet
Of Rainbow-Colored Blooms
The mild winter which has been
the subject for much speculation
and comment in the highways and
byways of Oregon has turned the
University campus into a prema
ture bouquet — an exquisite cor
sage of many colors.
The air for weeks has been lad
en with the perfumes of these
blooms—flowers, which, accord
ing to Sam Mikkelson, University
gardener, have made their bows
to campus society four to five
weeks ahead of their usual debut.
Wherever one turns, bordering
the many walks, nestled in cor
ners and against walls of buildings
are flowers in bloom. Predomi
nant in the campus bouquet is the
graceful spirea van houttii, lovely
in its drooping white glory. Bloom
ing close to the spirea, usually
planted thus for artistic effect is
pink weigelia rosea, and small
white deutzia gracilia. White and
purple lilac have been blooming
for days already, in company I
with the flowering almond.
Around the statue of the Pio
neer, in front of the court of the
Art building, and In various other
places on the campus blooms the
tall mahonia aquifolia, a special
variety of native Oregon grape.
On one side of historic Deady
hall, the cersis canadensia, the
only shrub of its kind on the cam
pus, attracts the eye and wins
words of admiration from passers
by. Its red blossoms blend vividly
with the color scheme of the bou
quet.
Bordering- “hello lane,” the old
est walk on the campus, between
the library and Deady and Vil
lard halls, the silver magnolia
trees, which usually bloom at this
time, shed their dainty pink petals
several weeks ago.
Now attractive combinations of
lacy dwarf deutzia and pink-or
ange Azelea Mollis catch the
breath of the students and other
passers-by. Sharing splendor hon
ors with these shrubs along the
“hello lane” are the exochorda
grandiflora, in everyday vocabu
lary, pearl bush, and also the spi
rea prunifolia, commonly known
as bridal wreath.
The yellow kerria japonica and
the white broom (Portugal) have
their place in this magnificent
bouquet and add to the beauty and
charm.
The present campus floral and
shrub arrangements are a result

Board Discusses
Selection of Daly
Fund Allotments
Increased Number of Applicants
For Scholarship Require
Careful Selection
Plans for the selection of schol
arship winners under the Bernard
Daly fund allotment for this year
were discussed at a meeting of the
trustees 4nd advisers of the fund,
held at Oregon State college re
cently, according to Howard R.
Taylor, professor of psychology
and psychological statistical ad
viser for the endowment.
The increase of applicants for
the scholarships, which number
about 20 each year, has necessi
tated a careful selection for the
opportunity- offered of four years
of higher education, paid for from
the interest accruing on the
$1,000,000 given by Daly for Lake
county students who merit the
awards.
Selection is based on personal
ity, high school record, and stand
ing in a college ability test. Tay
lor is making a study based on
the available records of the schol
arship applicants, to estimate the
factors most important in the se
lection.
O. K. Burrell, associate profes
sor of business administration, is
the University trustee of the fund.
1958 Enroll for
Spring Quarter
University enrollment at the end
of the regular registration period,
Saturday noon, was 1958, an
nounced Clifford Constance, as
sistant registrar, yesterday. Any
student wishing to register after
this date may do so only by spe
cial permission.
This figure is a decrease of four
per cent from registration a year
ago, while the decrease from win
ter term enrollment was six per
cent this year, and fall term of
1933 was seven per cent lower
than the corresponding period of
1932. Last spring term there were
2035 students enrolled in the Uni
versity.
“Undoubtedly the CWA work
given to 196 students on the cam
pus has made it possible for more
students to remain in school,” said
Constance.
Several more students are ex
pected to register before final fig
ures can be given for the term,
according to Constance.

Totems, Moccasins, Dugouts,
O/ Alaska on Display at Libe
By JOHN SMITH
Alaska is in the glass cases of
the old libe this week—an Alaska
of contrasts: the leering, moody,
painted totem of the savage old
tribal spirits, beside the gentle,
soft-eyed Madonna—the old Alas
ka that probably slumbers yet in
the hearts of the aborigines and
the Alaska of the white man’s re
ligion of love, a tableau that
might recall a grizzled, crosiered
bishop of the new mission, sent
from Russia with the black-brist
led trader who, with deceit and
fiery liquors, wrested furs from
the simple native folk.
But there is a newer Alaska
there, too, with the gray schools
of the American territory, such as
Professor W. G. Beattie, head of
the department of social welfare
the University of Oregon, super
vised in his 15 years in the north
western territory.
Many of the articles on exhibi
tion were loaned by Professor
Beattie. There is an oddly carved
paddle painted with pigments that'
came from caves near Mount
Edgecumb, colors so enduring that
they have faded not a bit in the
quarter of a century since an In
dian friend gave the implement as
a memento to Professor Beattie.
There are pictures of the profess
sor’s native students exhibiting
vegetables they had grown in the
short lull of the Arctic wind, of
reindeer grazing on the northern
tundra, and of Baranoff castle,
headquarters of the governor
manager of the Russian-American
trading company of a czarist days.
The Madonna and Child is a
metal plaque secured by Mrs.
George O. De Bar, when the
Greek church in Sitka, driven for
money, was compelled to sell
many many of its icons.
Also in the case downstairs are
beaded moccasins, a peened silver
fork and spoon, basketry, a model
totem, and books illustrative of
the exhibit.
In the case upstairs is a doll
made from buckskin, brought

Will Present Program for
Layman Music Lover
Light and whimsical numbers
such as Ibert’s “Le Petit Ane

will be included with heavier num
bers of the major composers in
the concert to be given by Harold
Ayres, Eugene, and University
pianist, at the school of music
auditorium tonight at 8 o'clock.
The presentation is free to Uni

The program has been especial
ly selected to provide enjoyment
for the layman music lover, yet it
gives Ayres ample opportunity to
show his versatility. Some of the
compositions on the program are
"Air Tendre" by Lully; Bach’s
Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue;
Mozart’s Sonata in A Major; Schu
mann’s Papillons, Op. 2; "La Cam

“Ayres is a student of whom
this city may already be proud,”
Louis Artau of the University

“Other communities have shown
great enthusiasm for his marked
ability and artistry, and I am sure
Eugene people will be even more

O.S.C., Oregon Polyphonic
Choirs Give Joint Concert
By J. A. NEWTON
Those who yielded to the temp
tations of a fine spring day missed
a fine concert Sunday afternoon
by the combined chorus made up
of the University Polyphonic choir
and the Oregon State college
chorus. The auditorium was about
half filled.
Every selection was excellently
adapted to the medium, with the
exception of the arrangement
called "Weep No More” of Rach
maninoff’s famous Prelude in C
sharp minor. It wasn't in C sharp
minor, in the first place, and it
transcends the range of voice in
the second place.
The remainder of the program,
without reservation, was done mu
sically and with understanding,
due, we believe, to Paul Petri’s
excellent control of the singers.
A light little number of Beet
hoven took the fancy of the audi
ence. This was "To Maelzel,"
wherein the great master pokes
musical fun at his friend, the in
ventor of the metronome. It is
full of "tick-tock," and mechanical
time.
The well-known and much loved
melody, "Massa’s in de Cold, Cold
Ground," by Stephen Foster, alsoj
in the first group, the group han
dled with the feeling called for by
the tradition behind the song.
Jessie Long, who sang the solo
part of the Brahms Lullaby, sings
rather “high up” in her throat.
Whether it is the nature of her
voice or t he type of training which
she has had cannot be determined
just by listening. Nevertheless, a
tone from deeper down would con
tain more of the musical quality.
The Czechoslovakian Dance Song
was a novel number in that it con
tained no words but “la-la-la.” It
was no more than a gay little folk
ditty of little depth.
After the second group of songs,
Edith Grim, piano student of
George Hopkins, played three
numbers. Miss Grim has appeared
here before, thus her definite
touch and positive interpretation
were nothing new to the writer.
The program had scheduled John
Spittle, University tenor, to sing
the incidental solo in “The Dove
Flies Low on Whit-sunday,” but
was unable to do so. In his stead,
Harold Witcraft, of Oregon State,
sang. Spittle is one of a very few
good singers on the campus. It
